The following was written by Eric C. Pearson, the Grandnephew of Richard B. "Dick" Wagner:

I believe it was around the summer of 1963, when my mother, grandmother, sisters, and I went to visit Richard "Dick" Wagner in Polk County, Missouri.

Although we only stayed about one week, I found the experience very wonderful in getting to know Richard. He was everything a young man wanted in a Granduncle. Being a very kind and caring man, he would take me out onto the farm to pick corn and other vegetables that he would later sell in town.
